kinda weird how last generation the PS3 had a severe lack of games early on compared to everything else, but this generation the PS4 is showing the most promise in the games department of course e3 may change that but you get the idea

Sony choosing their words so carefully.

Look at them play there cards.

Lets hope they follow up on this stuff they've been saying and aren't just riding the wave from the xbone reveal.

All they need to do is review anything Microsoft say and then announce the opposite of what they're planning :v: Here's hoping Sony won't get cocky from all the press coverage, though.

I'm keeping my mouse shut until e3.

I don't get MS's focus on the TV/Netflix/Etc side. PS3 did all that superbly without going batshit insane about it at every conference.

[QUOTE=ThePanther;40852851]I'm keeping my mouse shut until e3.[/QUOTE] Poor mouse. He'll starve. Anyway, Sony sure is loving the XBone fuckup. Can't blame them. :v:

Sony is taking the right approach with the PS4. It's a gaming console, so focus on games. I'm anxious to see what E3 is going to be like.

Ha, last generation I had the impression that the XBOX360 was all about games and PS3 about being some blue-ray-playing entertainment system. Now it's reversed, but with the blu ray novelty replaced by Kinect 2. Interested in seeing what will happen.

I wish Microsoft had said something like that. Nope, they want to be an everything console.

[QUOTE=Shiftyze;40853410]I wish Microsoft had said something like that. Nope, they want to be an everything console.[/QUOTE] which is what sony tried to do with the PS3 OPPOSITE GEN!

[QUOTE=goon165;40853428]which is what sony tried to do with the PS3 OPPOSITE GEN![/QUOTE] except the PS3 did it decently

Why is it even necessary to declare that a gaming console is supposed to be focused on gaming, this shit should be a given, for consoles in general.

One of the advantages is blue-ray has more space.

It's almost getting to the point where companies have to announce that gaming consoles play games.

All Sony has to do is just appear better then Microsoft, and by god are they doing it. Microsoft's silence on their system's new features are really hurting them, and just making Sony look so good right now. They need to break their silence sooner rather then at E3; because the thing Microsoft seems to forget is that Sony is going to be there too, hitting hard.

how do you spot xbone apologists? [IMG]http://puu.sh/35jPh/70074d31bb.png[/IMG] don't worry they'll rate you dumb over a [I]joke[/I]

For example I posted a thread about Vita Remote Play Compatability with PS4, and guess who was rating dumbs to everyone in that thread?

[QUOTE=viperfan7;40853886]except the PS3 did it decently[/QUOTE] eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh Cheap Blue-ray player is about the only NOTICEABLE thing it did, even then it was a catastrophically hard sell.

Being a game console is now the selling feature of a game console

[QUOTE=Atlascore;40853066]Where did you get that impression? Microsoft was pushing towards an "entertainment system" long before Sony, and the Xbox 360 has less exclusives than the PS3.[/QUOTE] PS3 was bundled with Talledega nights for a bit, which is where that comes from.

This is something that confuses me. Suppose you give me your new system. Okay, it plays games. This is a given. Put it also has Netflix and Hulu and Youtube and it plays your DVDs and Blu-Rays and all of the other things. Why are people getting into a huge uproar about this? I personally love the fact that my PS3 can plug into my TV and act as a media center for not only games. I can watch Netflix, I can watch movies streamed from my PC, and I can do so much more. And I can still fucking play games. Personally, I feel that the next generation of consoles turning into media centers that can do so much more than only play games is the way forward, not a step backwards.

"Okay, people, we saw what happened with the Xbone. So let's get something straight right now: PS4 has games."
